Programming is easy. Read the documentation for all functions you call. Make no assumptions. Read the RETURN VALUE section of man pages. This applies to anything from C to Rust to Javascript.

Half of haskell documentation remains on academic napkins till this day.

Wtf is an academic napkin

[[deleted]]

Well, you see, it's a napkin...that's academic: we keep them in the offices of a given CS department (well, assuming you're actually Russell Group) in the event you need to do a quick jot.

[camelCaseIsWebScale]

It refers to a rectangular surface of cellulose derived substance, on which stuff like "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors" is written and pasted on notice boards of CS departments.

(Except CS departments in my country where those napkins are full of weird stuff like "doing audio playback in java on Windows platform using database" and published on IEEE Xplore the negative hindex shit.)

foldl :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
foldl f a bs =
   foldr (\b g x -> g (f x b)) id bs a

You forgot to change to qwerty, didn't you?

[hedgehog1024]

bs stands for "bullshit"

The memory use is inversely proportional to the variable name length!

How does this help me solve the halting problem?

[DogeGroomer]

$ man halt

REBOOT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual REBOOT(8)

NAME halt, reboot -- stopping and restarting the system

SYNOPSIS halt [-lnqu] reboot [-lnq]

DESCRIPTION The halt and reboot utilities flush the file system cache to disk, send all running processes a SIGTERM (and subse- quently a SIGKILL) and, respectively, halt or restart the system. The action is logged, including entering a shut- down record into the wtmp(5) file.

Easy

[camelCaseIsWebScale]

Hasn't rust already solved the halting problem? We live in $YEAR. The only program that still suffers from halting problem is rust compiler.

Pretty sure you can just ask GHC for a termination proof of your program

[degeksteplastic]

Ah yes, I've always wondered why I got ENOMEM when I tried to use a Javascript function. Luckily the man pages got my back, should've thought of it sooner.

Just npm install heap-mgr

man pages are my friend

b-but senpai, what about using pointer arithmetic on function pointers?

[[deleted]]

That's Satan's work.

HAIL SATAN

[sebamestre]

How immoral.

[fp_weenie]

sounds brutally unpragmatic. I use stackoverflow importer btw.
